Seeking Help: How Do You Know When It's Time?
"There are two ways to slide easily through life; to believe everything or to doubt everything. Both ways save us from thinking."

- We cannot understand everything, on our own thinking our way to logical conclusions every time on every subject.
- However if we are responsible for anything of consequence, which we all are in different ways, we must never stop trying to do so.
- When we don't know, we must recognize that we don't and find those who do.
- Do you have a "knowledge tripwire", a way to know when you need help from someone else?

I do have a "tripwire" although it misses some problems.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am certain I am right, I ask for additional opinion.
Great for when certain but I've often found I should have sought help when I was less than certain.
Good idea Michael and I suspect that since you do that when you are "certain", you probably also often do it when you are not as well.
ReplyDeleteThere have been a number of times where I asked for others opinions (although not often enough), secretly thinking it really wasn't necessary, only to find they were right and I was wrong.
